Plain-English summary
Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Entourage vehicles manufactured between February 16, 2006, and June 30, 2008. The recall involves 41,264 vehicles where the secondary hood latch may corrode and bind, potentially remaining in the unlatched position when the hood is closed.
If the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the secondary latch for vehicles originally sold or registered in specific states including Alaska, Connecticut, and New York. For vehicles in other states, dealers will inspect and either lubricate or replace the secondary latch as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in January 2017, and owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151.
